They include a stress test for home buyers and increasing the eligibility requirements for mortgages to get insured, and they come into effect as early as Oct. 17. The announcement has already eroded mortgage finance company shares and prompted forecasts of slipping mortgage growth at the banks, as well as fewer home purchases and a price cool-down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn the short-term, the change may lead to a temporary reduction in the pace of housing market activity over the next year,\u201d finance department spokesman Jack Aubry said Wednesday in an e-mail. \u201cWhile historical data suggest that, nationwide, up to 8% of new home purchases could be affected during the first year of implementation, the precise impact will vary depending on specific homebuyer circumstances and behaviours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s difficult to predict the exact impact, Aubry said, because homebuyers could react in a variety of ways, from forgoing a home purchase to buying a cheaper home or tapping into savings to qualify under the new rules. The overall long-term impact of the measures will be positive, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The measures will erode home sales by 10 per cent and property prices by 5%, Royal Bank of Canada analyst Geoffrey Kwan said, without specifying a timeframe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An 8% cross-country decline in sales wouldn\u2019t be unprecedented. Home sales are already down 7% from the highs of 2016, with 43,488 transactions across Canada in August compared to 46,688 in April. In 2010, sales fell more than 20% from prior year highs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/business.financialpost.com\/personal-finance\/mortgages-real-estate\/home-sales-in-canada-could-fall-8-on-new-mortgage-rules-finance-department-projects\" target=\"_blank\">Home Sales in Canada Could Fall 8% on New Mortgage Rules, Finance Department Projects<\/a> by Katia Dmitrieva | Bloomberg News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s finance department projects home sales could fall as much as 8 per cent in the first year after new housing regulations are implemented, before rebounding, based on an analysis &hellip;
